Citation for Achievement in College Leadership

The Citation for Achievement in College Leadership Program offers students the opportunity to develop their leadership skills through “leadership experiences” that combine specific academic study with specific practical application. Upon graduation, students successfully completing the Citation for Achievement in College Leadership receive a special notation on their official transcript and a certificate of recognition.

Citation Requirements

Students interested in the Citation need to successfully complete at least three different leadership experiences from the approved list on the reverse. Each leadership experience has two components:

  1. An academic course (2-credit minimum) designed to prepare students for specific leadership work.
  2. A related, supervised leadership practicum that implements ideas from the preparatory course.

The Citation for Achievement in College Leadership is administered through the College Center for Academic Support. Students who plan to enroll in the program should pick up a registration form at the Academic Services Counter outside Lattimore 312. No later than the spring semester of the junior year, students should meet with an adviser in Academic Support to review and submit the completed registration form.

Students can request an alternative leadership experience that meets the requirements above by preparing a detailed proposal to the Leadership Citation Committee. This should be done in consultation with a faculty supervisor and an appropriate adviser in the Center for Academic Support.
